Scan frequencies
When a scan is started, the system is ready to receive telex messages on
the selected scan frequencies. The MF/HF radio scans every listed channel
for 3 seconds. If no traffic is detected, it continues to the next channel.
The scan list in the SAILOR MF/HF System 6000B Radiotelex always shows
the current telex frequency of the connected MF/HF radio (indicated with
“MF/HF radio”). In addition, you can add other telex frequencies that you
want the system to scan. See Edit the scan list on page 31.
To start a frequency scan, do as follows:
1. From the main menu, select S
can.
2. To scan the frequencies shown, select S
tart scan.
The Message Terminal informs the MF/HF radio to scan for the selected
frequencies. The status field in the top right corner shows Scanning.
3. To stop scanning, select St
op scan.
If the system is in DSC subsequent communication mode, only
the frequency assigned by the MF/HF radio is scanned.
